Plates, with exception of one by A. Rossi, engraved by Francesco Piranesi, after designs by T. Piroli, L. Corazzari and others, and dated 1780-1792. Hind (1967, c1922, p. 91) assigns a date of 1786.

The watermarks are of French origin (Heawood no. 1317,3312) possibly variants of Hind no. 7, which denoted the first Paris edition of the Piranesi brothers, 1800-1807. These plates are not numbered, however Graesse lists the 1800 edition of the title as numbered.
